Region SEPA Responsible Official Review
Determination of Non-Significance (DNS) After field and SEPA review, the FP Forester approves/disapproves the FPA
![Page 28: Processing Forest Practices Applications with …...Forest Practices Rules State Environmental Policy Act Watershed Analysis Rule Identified Landforms Chapter 76.09 RCW Chapter 43.21C](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043015/5f382d9ed1e19920ca70ddf3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Region Responsible Official Review continued
Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS) Landowner incorporates mitigation Per the ID team review and stakeholder
recommendations, the FP Forester incorporates mitigation in the form of conditions on the FPA
FP Forester approves the FPA
![Page 29: Processing Forest Practices Applications with …...Forest Practices Rules State Environmental Policy Act Watershed Analysis Rule Identified Landforms Chapter 76.09 RCW Chapter 43.21C](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022043015/5f382d9ed1e19920ca70ddf3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Region Responsible Official Review continued
Determination of Significance (DS)
Landowner has the option to pursue an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
Landowner may withdraw the FPA until the EIS is prepared and then resubmit the FPA with additional information
